I have small hands as well. But through the years I managed to get my hands flexibel enough.
But small scale length helps a lot. After 20yrs oft playing I bought my first fender Jaguar this year - with shorter scale length - and it is much more relaxing to play. Gibson scale lenght is also not as hard as the large Stratocaster scale.
(Born to be wild or walk this way are good songs to test it)
